You will get exactly the effect described above, when NoPatch is
not set at the time when WarpOS was launched.

Yes, most probably. I think you have placed CSPPC233Fix before the
line which copies ENVARC: to RAM:ENV. As the fix launches WarpOS,
this is not good, because no environment variables are present at
that time, which make NoPatch default to zero.

How about placing CSPPC233Fix into user-startup? This is early
enough. You should only modify startup-sequence when there is
no other possibility - for good reasons.
